Christmas Placemat Craft: Have the kids glue the cards decoration side up down on colored construction paper. When the glue dries, cover the craft front and back with clear contact paper, making sure there are no open ends or gaps. Kids love setting their plates on their own special Christmas place mat. Santa Ornament: Open the ornament and fill it with peppermints. Secure it closed again. Using a medium sized wooden ball, glue on jiggly eyes. Once the eyes are set, glue the wooden ball onto the top the plastic ornament. Next, add cotton hair for the head, mustache and beard. Glue a red felt 'hat' on top of the hair. At the base of the ornament, glue a long piece of black felt for Santa's belt. Glue the front bottom of the ornament to a thin wooden heart that's been painted black. The curves in the heart will be Santa's feet. Christmas Countdown Chain: Form the strips into connecting circles and glue each one closed. Once the glue is dry, hang the circle within easy reach of the child. Each day that passes until Christmas, the kids get to tear off one of the links of the chain. Candy Cane Reindeer: At the top of the candy cane, glue a pipe cleaner, twisting it into the shape of antlers. Glue jiggly eyes on either side of the reindeer 'head' and add the nose to the end of the candy cane. Cookie Cutter Ornaments: Place each cookie cutter on colored construction paper. Trace around it. Cut it out. Have the kids decorate each cut out with glitter and mini pom-poms for Christmas balls on the tree. You can also just print out your selection from your set of royalty free Christmas clipart graphic images in the exact size and theme combination that you want for your decorations, and just cut out around their design. For the snowmen, use mini black pom-poms for his buttons. You can use jiggly eyes on the snowmen and Santa. Once each ornament is finished, use a hole-puncher to punch a hole at the top. Thread thin ribbon through the hole and let the kids hang their special ornament from the tree.
